10 Things to Think About on a Friday

All in all, not a bad week. I saw some awesome movies to finish up the month (if you haven't seen Paprika and like Anime, go get it done), got a coach training to get ready for the start of track season (Monday), played some dominoes and otherwise had quite a decent week putting the apartment back together following last week's break in. With the Super Bowl coming up, this weekend is sure to be centered on massive amounts of celebration and partying. But before you go and drown yourself in booze, here's 10 things to think about as you wind out the work week.

1) Well, there is the matter of protocol, but really, if the President of the United States nods at you, even if you're a drum major, shouldn't you nod back? Instead, this guy lost his job. So much for patriotism.

2) A bit of sad news here, Kim Manners, a long time director for the X-Files, passed away this week.

3) Worried about getting pulled over for speeding? Check out this list of the 10 most and least ticketed cars...

4) I say it almost every week here with a link, and I have to think that eventually, something will come of it, but c'mon, let's stop this silly war on marijuana...Politicians...get your heads out of your asses and do something that benefits our country!

5) Bill O'Reilly is a jack ass. Not only that, but he's recently been shown to be slightly less intelligent on historical foreign affairs than Jessica Alba. That's right, super hot Alba schooled O'Reilly in politics. Bam!

6) Here in the "land of the free and the home of the brave" we just got done limiting marriage rights for same sex couples. Over in Iceland, they're about to have their first openly gay Prime Minister. Wonder which country is more tolerant...

7) Speaking of homosexuality, Mr. Anti-Homosexuality himself, Ted Haggard, was on CNN last night talking about his past indiscretions. Want to talk about an asshole? How about a man speaking from the pulpit to 10s of thousands of people, condemning homosexuality, who then turns out to be having a long and illicit affair with a male prostitute. What's better? He said on Larry Kingthat he's been told by a therapist that he's a "heterosexual with homosexual attachments." I'm still trying to figure out what that means, but I think Mr. Haggard will get along a lot better in life if he just admits that he's bi! Stop hating people!

8) I must say that I hope when I'm 110 I'm having sex with an 80 year old!

9) These are some friends you don't want....say they're picking you up for a party and then ditch you in the middle of nowhere, hoping that you'll die.

10) I was going to link here to an article about Janet Napolitano talking about wanting to get rid of all criminal illegal aliens. But c'mon, we don't like criminals, let alone criminals that are illegal, so what's the point in linking to such a mundane and agreeable topic? How about this...would you rather have sex everyday of your life with someone that you found on the lower end of the attractive scale, or have sex once every 10 years with someone you consider a 10?

Enjoy your weekends and the big game folks!
